What to do in purto vallarta?

I have been there 4 times.

Honestly it is my least favourite place in Mexico.

If you haven't already booked a place to stay I can recommend a place called Paradise Village which has suites including a little kitchen, it is in Nueva Vallarta 10 or 15 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, it is very nice. Nice pools, tennis courts with free tennis lessons, little mall/grocery store nearby, gorgeous beach with good swimming.

The town of Puerto Vallarta itself is a cesspool. Dirty grimy streets, traffic noise, filth and pollution. Drunken American tourists, obese Mexican prostitutes, you get the idea. I would avoid the town of Puerto Vallarta and look at tours around the region instead. We took a horseback tour north of Puerto Vallarta and it was nice. Also there is a small town an hour or so North of Puerto Vallarta, I forget the name, is is supposed to have some good surfing.

If you haven't already booked your flight I recommend Cancun or Ixtapa over Puerto Vallarta anytime.

Also I would suggest talking with your doctor about Hepatitis A immunization and immunization for traveller's diarrhea.
